I was just plaing around with a Radio Shack field strength meter and noticed that where I sit in front of the radio when on high power the FS meter shows a pretty high reading. I do not know if these meters are ment to read FS in a radio room. But I was wondering if there is a simple way to be sure I'm not being over exposed? |

Probably over reacted, but I did not expect to see the FS meter go to the red when I keyed up right in front of the radio. I mean it's only a 2970DX, not a kw or someting, but it made me wonder. |

Bob, I have oftened wondered about that too. I tried one in my car when I was running a large amp, inside, it wasnt bad, but just outside, buried the meter, took the little antenna off, still buried the meter! Cant be good for you, how about it techs any info on rfi exposure?? |

The exposure hasn't bothered me one bit. I say that from years of experience folks. I've been around radios of all sorts since a small child.
Although......I have been able to read a book at night in the dark with only my glowing eyes to see by. Is this normal?
